LATEST: Electric Picnic announce headliners for biggest ever Laois dance arena
The 8,000-capacity dance music cathedral has been transformed with the biggest indoor LED screen in Electric Picnic’s history
Electric Picnic has announced its dance arena Terminus is set to triple in production size this year with headliners just announced a week ahead of the Laois Festival.
Terminus is returning with Red Bull as its new presenting partner with festival organisers promising it will be “the biggest production upgrade in the arena’s history and taking the festival’s largest indoor dancefloor experience to a whole new level.”
Irish DJ duo Belters Only, who have sold out gigs around the world, will headline while dance fans can also expect MALUGI to get the party started, and there’s some 90s inspired techno from X Club.
CamrinWatsin, Clouds, DART, Effy, Faster Horses, Kayleigh Glynn and TWOFACED all bring their own brands of electronica and dance to the DJ booth. E.T.C and Derv will open proceedings on Saturday and Sunday night.
Anchoring the Freetown Quarter beyond the Salty Dog woods, Terminus has become a festival favourite. The 8,000-capacity dance music cathedral has been transformed, with the biggest indoor LED screen in Electric Picnic’s history and a kinetic system of automated LED pillars suspended above the crowd, creating an ever-changing ceiling of light that will bring Red Bull x Terminus to life.
The first of their kind at the festival, the LED pillars will descend towards the dancefloor before soaring high above the audience again, continually reshaping the arena as the night unfolds. Together with the vast LED screen, lighting and sound, Red Bull x Terminus will blur the lines between stage, experience and architecture, transporting 8,000 Picnickers into an infinite realm of euphoria, energy and electronic music.
Organisers said: Red Bull x Terminus is the final destination. Meet us where the map ends and dance the night away!”
